The indicated flow direction (positive/negative) is configurable.
CAUTION
Accurate measurement
The sensor must always be completely filled with process media in order to measure
accurately.
Orienting the sensor
The sensor operates in any orientation. The optimal orientation depends on the process fluid
and the process conditions. Siemens recommends orienting the sensor in one of the
following ways:
1.
Vertical installation with an upwards flow (self-draining)
